black dots on shed...?

Recently one of my amels shed. When I was examining/measuring the shed I noticed two little black dots where the cloaca would be. Does this indicate sex or anything? Is this a shed from the hemipenis?

Has anyone seen this before?

I will provide a picture if necessary or possible. (very small)
 
(Thumping head to try and remember!)

I really think that this is evidence of this snake being a male, but I sure wouldn't run out and get him/her a girlfriend based on THAT!! lol I'm pretty sure it would be a male, but I never check their sheds to see on my own animals. Sorry I can't be more certain.

simple

most snakes have the same type of thing with a shed. Often if you look soon after the shed happens, the Black Spots are red.
It happens with males and females. Its blood spots from where the scent glands(I think) lose the epidermis.
 
Yeah, it sounds like what Shaky said. This IS NOT a problem for the snake. He/She should be just fine.
